Meet the man whose house is designed around his car

It's been a couple of years since we last heard about Holger Schubert and his award-winning office/garage, but it looks like the city of Los Angeles, thankfully, did not force him to tear down the bridge that gives his Ferrari 512 BBi arguably the nicest parking spot in California. Petrolicious is back again with another well-done video, which finally introduces us to Schubert as well as his lust-worthy Ferrari.

As for the structure, it is half garage and half work space with an office, couch, bookshelf and television, and one hell of a view. There is a ramp that raises to allow the Ferrari to roll backward out of the garage before starting up on the aforementioned bridge that sits 16-feet above the ground. The car itself is an equally admirable piece of art, with a wedge-like shape and its reserved dark gray hue.

My car has no hopes of even attempting to make it up that driveway/ramp

Not like it's even worthy to be there in the first place

im still confused why there is a ramp. The floor is flat, why does he need to raise the car up

This guy is Ultimate Car guy.. I would love to live his way..


The Ramp is probably for he can roll the car out in Neutral without cranking the car Inside the House and once outside he cranks it because old Ferraris have usually long warm ups..

I'll grant that the house design matches the car, very drab and slab sided. A very dreary building and would be utterly depressing without the view

I've seen a number of guys whose homes were centered around their cars...............

I think that's a woman

mmarshall

Yeah....I'm not necessarily trying to make fun of the homeless, (hey, any one of us could just as easily be in that position), but sometimes, except for beards, it's not easy to tell homeless males from females.

There are some real hardcore car fanatics out there. The story above reminds of the guy who had a Lamborghini Countach mounted to one of the walls in his home.

Well, Seize, I've heard Lambos referred to as an off-the-wall purchase, but never the other way around.

I'm a hardcore fanatic myself, just can't afford this

And I also wonder the same thing why does he need a ramp?

mmarshall

Also wonder if, given weight and the wall's physical limitations, that's a real car and not just a lightweight mock-up.

WOW, the Countach is my all-time favorite classic Exotic. I wouldn't hang it on the wall.. Its like Crucifixion of an Iconic car.. Really? IMO pretty disgusting to do that to Legendary Lambo..

Would be ridiculous if it was an Actual car, Kit car (fiberglass mock up) is possible but still its INSANE to do such a thing to a car especially a Lambo!
